I finally got it down to the Apple store. It turns out the video card is shot. It also turns out that Apple made about 10,000 27" iMac in mid 2011 with bad video cards. The cards crap out after about three years.
The good news is that Apple is going to replace the card and clean up the computer for no charge.
If your computer was made in mid 2011, you can take it to an Apple store and they will replace the video card for you.
They don't have the parts in stock so it's going to take a few days.
If you bring your computer in to them, you don't need to bring the keyboard or mouse. They use their own.
Well worth the drive down and back and it will give me another opportunity to go to my favorite sushi buffet,
